🎂 Cake, Clinical Leadership, and Challenging the Status Quo #FreedomFriday | #ThoughtLeadership This week I was invited to celebrate Linköping University’s 50th anniversary — young, ambitious, and ready to challenge convention. As part of the teaching team shaping the next generation of doctors, I shared a message I repeat every term: 🚫 Don’t be the dog’s body. 🚫 Don’t be the yes-man. 🚫 Don’t blindly follow outdated practice just because the person saying it has grey hair and a title. Too often I’ve seen junior doctors operating in fear — tiptoeing around authority figures who cling to decades-old practices, shaped by drug company lunches and "we've always done it this way" logic. 💣 Newsflash: Some of those practices are clinically irrelevant, financially wasteful, or downright harmful in today’s world. If you don’t challenge it, it continues. And one day, it’s you or your loved one on the receiving end of that care. 👉 So yes — I teach pharmacology. But more than that, I teach courage. The courage to ask: “Why is this done this way?” In medicine — and in property development. 🏗️ As the Clinical Pharmacy Congress, UK Construction Week, Grand Designs, and Property Developer shows wrap up this season, I’m asking: 🧠 What legacy are we leaving? 🏘️ Are we empowering the next generation of health professionals and home builders to innovate? 💷 Are we cutting out waste, bias, inefficiency — or just repeating what’s been done before? Whether you’re building hospitals or houses, we owe it to the future to do better. And btw — 💚 Swedish vegetarian cake? Never again. Just go for full fat, non vegan, non lactose-free, non sugar free, full gluten, when it comes to cake eating if you do not have any intolerances 🎯 Call to Action: 💬 COMMENT: What’s one outdated practice you've challenged recently — in health, education, or property? 🔁 SHARE this with someone who needs that push to speak up. ➕ FOLLOW for bold takes on health leadership, property development, and wealth creation that actually moves the needle. 📈 #FreedomFriday #ChallengeTheStatusQuo #ClinicalLeadership #LinkopingUniversity #MedicalEducation #JuniorDoctors #HealthInnovation #CostEffectiveCare #OutdatedPractices #PropertyDevelopersUK #GrandDesigns2025 #PharmacyLeadership #ReduceWaste #ImpactDrivenLiving #LegacyBuilding #SmartInvesting #WealthAndWellbeing #HealthcareRevolution #SpeakUpInHealthcare #NextGenLeaders #FollowForChange
